Pedrogaz Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I would like to see Corbyn in Number 10, if only for his disgust with Trump. I'm damned sure he would not have permitted a state visit....prostituting the queen and all for the orange dotard's vanity. Sickening. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that is more to do with English weather and a possible bad hair day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you dislike someones politics , its better to talk to them In this case it's a lot worse than "someone's politics". Trump is a serial liar and demagogue and he would probably be in jail if the justice department would allow it. George W. looked like a statesman compared to Trump. And I don't remember that I liked his politics. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big contrast to his globalist predecessor, whining at us to stay in the EU at all costs. And of course, dealing directly with the USA -which is about 10 times more powerful than UK, and represents the interests of most of the world's largest multinationals- will result in less influence of globalism in UK. ????

Popular Post Jonnapat Posted June 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2019 I'm sure that I'm only one of millions of Brits who are appalled and sickened by this man's interference in other countries' business, particularly so of the UK. It's quite obvious that only the fawning government welcomes him to Britain and that is only in the hope of some special trade deal after Brexit. One which will apparently include changing the National Health Service to the disastrous American style of insurance leaving many without healthcare. The great majority of Britons would never allow this to happen and would be the death knell of any government who supported it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fawning government have been doing everything possible to remain - albeit not on the eu/may disastrous 'deal' that has been made very obvious (and this is the most important part) to the electorate! Presumably May invited Trump 'cos it is normal procedure amongst heads of state. Hard to imagine there is any other reason, bearing in mind trump has made it very clear that he doesn't support May!

By living the EU you don't expect the UK to have same deal as they have if staying, sure something has to be different and by being different it will be challenged and criticized, impossible to please everybody, thus compromising is a must but when compromising the same problems raise and (again) not everyone will agree with that either, knife with 2 edges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
